Patch Notes for September 10th, 2019

Recommended Posts

The Justin has been wiped; it had a good run testing all the changes to Snipes and Dominators, but it's time to have a clean slate and push new experimental changes for feedback. Just like the first patch of the Snipes beta, remember that this is experimental. This is not a live candidate and it is not going to be patched to the live shards anytime soon. Feedback is required.

As part of the experimental patching cycle, all Incarnate slots, Patron pools and Accolade powers are unlocked at character creation. In addition, all recipes have had their salvage cost removed this time around; this means you can craft any enhancement without using any salvage.

Due to the PvP nature of these changes, this new server now has a name better suited for the combative nature of the update, in which the clash of powerful forces threaten to the the world apart: say hi to the Pineapple server. Does it belong on pizza? Only you can provide the answer.

Combat Log

Combat log output has been standardized. Many powers used to report the wrong damage type and effects in the combat log, this process has fixed that, in addition to making the combat log a lot easier to parse.

Rage [Experimental change]

Rage will now only crash if stacked. If the power is stacked, crashes will occur at every expiration until it expires completely.

Rage crash has been changed to 10 seconds of:

-999% damage irresistible

-10 defense irresistible

-20% resist irresistible

-20% elusiveness irresistible

The endurance crash has been removed, the power now instead drains 25 endurance on activation.
